Trivial things that annoy you part 479

People who talk on their mobile as if they were on a reality tv show - having it on speaker and holding it flat in front of their face, and of course there's lots of background noise so they almost have to shout. Just use it the normal way you silly cow, it's bad enough I have to listen to your side of the conversation, I don't want to hear what your friend has to say as well.

I'm trivially annoyed at how time flies. 19 years ago today Mr Pumpkinseeds and I went on our 1st date. If I'd left the house 5 minutes earlier/later we never would have gone out together, weird thought.:D

Here you go Pumpkinseeds

Excuse me while I find a corner turn white and throw up :-)

JFC I'm gonna scream. In a really lovely hostel with pod beds, but the girl in bed above is watching something on laptop VERY loudly and I can't even think straight.

I know that's the type of sh1te that comes with hostels, and I chose to stay in one, but never came across anything quite like it before. I feel like throwing her up my headphones. Ignorant sod.

EDIT: I decided to put on youtube at the highest volume if that's what we're at, and she then turned hers off. Passive aggressive so and so that I am, but at least I can think straight now.

Are you on the Bus? Are you on the train? where are you now?

I love asking those questions to people so as to annoy passengers as I so hate people saying ....

If possible get the person to repeat it more than once.

"Im on the train now" etc .....

My Mam insisting that dinner isn't 'proper' dinner without spuds & veg. Made curry & rice for dinner and she added turnip and spuds to make it 'proper' Who the heck adds turnip to a curry?? Apart from my Mam.

I dunno......if there was an Indian lad there he might have said "Ah, I see you are combining Bombay Aloo with Turnip, Missus. In Punjab we call this Aloo Shalgam. The rice gives it a biryani twist which is quite original!"


YUM!

Someone misjudging you harshly. Someone misjudging themselves harshly. Cryptic communication. Kindness is a conscious demonstration of my strength don't underestimate me and don't misunderstand me. When people don't put things into perspective.

Not knowing if I am safe.

Walls. Towers. Not knowing where i am.

Looks down ..oh it's ok I'm here

**** Ryanair and **** Stansted. Today has been a nightmare and my flight hasn't even left yet.

It could be worse, trust me. The next door nightmare has a lodger Monday to Wednesday and we can hear every word of whatever he's watching on tv in his bedroom until about midnight. The guy must be stone deaf.:mad:

Trying to get off the bus earlier, and this woman went and stood like a star fish, arms out like she was trying to balance on a high wire :mad: then the huffs out of her when I tried to pass. Hate women on public transport, more than men I think

I knew I should have bought the really expensive rotary clothes line that you can lower like a crutch, but oh no, I was a cheap skate and bought the cheapo string clothes line and now my celulitis abcessed armpit is crucifying me every time I reach to put clothes on the line. Other trivial annoyance, my painkillers are giving me a headache.

Ok, I might be in a very annoyed mood, hopefully getting this lot off my chest will help

1. When I go up to a bar to order I check who is standing queuing already, and if someone comes to serve me before them I tell them that the other person is first. Well, it trivially annoys me / pisses me off when I'm standing there with one other girl, and these two guys march up, the barmaid comes back serves the girl and then the guys, and the guys get thick and act surprised when I point out that I was there first. Not annoyed with the barmaid at all, she's not expected to be psychic, but doesn't take much not to skip your place in a queue and do the decent thing.

2. TA when having an online conversation with someone and it's good craic, and they just respond with a smiley, and I'm like how do I respond to a fecking smiley? They've basically just killed the conversation, and I'm so tempted to say it to them 'I'm not sure how to respond to that', but choose to keep my oddness to myself.

3. When my brain stops working properly.

- Was at a meeting, closed my laptop, thought must put that in my bag, but walked five minutes down the road, before I realised I'd left it behind. Eejit!

- Lodged some cheques to a self service machine. Usually I lodge each one separately so it shows as separate transactions when I import my bank tagging feed to my accounts system... and naturally it was as soon as I lodged them I realised I'd done them both together!

And there was at least a couple other similar things like that today that I could have kicked myself for. Hopefully my brain wakes up before work tomorrow.

Signing up to Irish Water paperless billing and then realising the bar code is missing. It's only on the bills they post out.

CrowdedHouse

Those micro USB plugs for charging phones/tablets etc. Go to plug in - won't fit, turn over - still won't fit, turn back the way it was first time and it fits....grrrr

Oh God haven't heard that in years:) Another trivial annoyance: being too young to realise he was gay back in the early 80s, and planning my future wedding and children with him. The innocence of youth!

Mine was Stephen Gately... ah them were the days

TA that I'm finding trivial annoyances everywhere I look today.

TA that my feet are so fecking smelly.

That my body is so flaky after the sun and covered in insect bites. Stupid, stupid me for not being more careful with applying repellant.

TA that I'm away for the night and forgot shampoo.

TA that I've to get up in the morning at a set time and go to work, when I just want to stay in bed for several days.

TA that I can't find my bank card.

TA that it's the eurovison this weekend.

TA that my bra doesn't fit me properly anymore and I've to go get re-fitted.

TA that the elastic in the primark knickers isn't strong enough to hold my big belly in, and they're so pretty but will probably be falling down half the day.

TA that it's so annoying going into pubs where you've go note your seat number and order at the bar when I'm on my own and trying to both order and keep the seat can be a nightmare.

TA that I didn't realise how sh1te my mood was till I walked past the holidays rails in primark and almost cried cos my holiday's over. It's less about the holiday but more that looking forward to my next holiday keeps me going. May need to book my next one, but it may be at christmas and I can't think about christmas yet.

TA that the package I've been waiting several days for wasn't dispatched until today and will likely arrive tomorrow the one day I'm not home .

TA that the weather is so unpredictable. It's summer, for feck sake, why can't it act even a little summer-ish?

TA that I still haven't done that thing I've been meaning to do since January.

TA that I only have little hair ties with me that aren't strong enough to hold up all of my long hair.

TA that the place I'm staying in only serves breakfast from 9am. I mean, if I was on holiday I'd love that, but I'm away for work, and never heard of anyone starting serving so late.

Not realising you'd cut yourself shaving until you find blood on your shirt collar as your about to leave for work.

I am trivially annoyed at how slow this thread is going, have everyone expressed their trivial annoyances or is life being good to everyone.

Extendable dog-leads. I've repeatedly been almost tripped up because some inconsiderate bellend allowed their dog to roam semi-freely at the end of such a lead, in the process blocking the entire width of the path.

Extendable dog-leads should be banned! :mad:

Thought that read "edible" dog leads
